Reviews

  • Gregory from United States – 30 October 2023 (10/10)

    Beautiful apartment-style room with an open area living room entry and separate bedroom. Amazingly furnished and in a wonderful location at the heart of the tourist area of Verona!

    What could be improved: Make sure to download WhatsApp before going to Italy, and to expect a "Tourist Tax". We went in blind on that front, and were a little taken-aback by this extra cash-only charge.

  • Mariana from Romania – 8 October 2024 (9/10)

    Everithing

    What could be improved: –

  • Teresa from United States – 1 October 2024 (10/10)

    The apartment was great. Very clean. Beds and pillows super comfortable. The location was perfect. Lots of restaurants and shops near by. Safe area. The kitchen was well appointed but we didn’t cook anything. We stayed for 2 weeks.

    What could be improved: It was a ways from parking and I would suggest pulling up to Porta Borsari to drop off your bags as that’s closer than the parking garage. Also, would be helpful to have an entry table for keys etc.

  • Diane from United Kingdom – 28 August 2024 (10/10)

    We have been to Verona many times, always at the Hotel Gabbia D'Oro. That means we are spoiled. This time we liked to stay together, because the visit to the opera was a gift for my mom. So I found the Lion Relais de Charme and booked it. What can I say, it was fantastic, from the first contact it was a pleasure to communicate with Christian, the host. I was worried about the parking, but all no problem, the parking is very after and just behind the arena to find. Very short walk to the beautiful apartment. The decor is phenomenal, modern very styled through and just feel good. Key was given to us on site, communication very quickly via WhatsApp. You sort of fall out of the apartment door into the Centrum. To the arena 2 min. The 3rd sleeping option was super, a sofa bed with very good mattress, everything nicely and cleanly prepared. There are 2 rooms, so we could also sleep undisturbed. Special mention is the full fridge with wine and drinks and snacks and all at very fair prices. Christian and Marina, we will be back! Thank you for this great stay!

  • Elaine from United Kingdom – 6 August 2023 (9/10)

    This was a really lovely apartment in a fantastic location to visit Verona! Our two children (aged 11 & 12) loved it here too!

    Christian, the host, was friendly and welcoming and met us upon arrival with the key and showed us around the apartment and gave us some info on restaurants and taxis.

    The beds and pillows were really comfortable.

    It was very clean with plenty of towels and an iron & hairdryer.

    The air conditioning worked well.

    Wifi & Netflix.

    What could be improved: Some really small details but a second mirror, a tea towel and a larger kitchen bin would all be useful.

    Just be aware there isn't an oven, just a hob. It didn't matter to us as we didn't cook there but something to bear in mind.

  • Rina from Switzerland – 31 July 2023 (9/10)

    Location was in the center but very quiet
